gollark: Why?
gollark: Yes, potatOS has a process system, and it's standalone. Nobody noticed, as usual.
gollark: Perhaps if I hook up that uncool HTTP backend to skynet or something, add more backdoors, run the GUI on the potatOS process system, and add it as an autobundled program it'll be better.
